For one thing, it isn't a university. At least not by Dutch standards. In Dutch it's called a 'hogeschool' which looks a bit like highschool (which in fact, is its literal translation) but in the Netherlands refers to a form of higher vocational education, or applied sciences as they call it. It doesn't lead to a formal academic degree with which you can enter a PhD-programme for instance. If that's not what you're looking for in an education, then Saxion's educational standards and syllabi seem sound enough, but I think it's a bit misleading to call it a university, especially in a European context since it doesn't offer the same academic standards and possibilities as a regular (Dutch) university. Btw, on their Dutch website Saxion calls itself a Hogeschool.
